About
As an Audit Partner at BDO Malta, I lead a team of professionals who provide assurance and advisory services to clients in the fintech/investments sector. With over 15 years of experience in auditing, I have developed a deep understanding of the regulatory and operational challenges faced by these companies, as well as the best practices and standards for internal/external audit and risk management.
I have a strong engineering and IT background, which enables me to apply technical and analytical skills to complex and innovative projects. I have also contributed to multiple publications on IFRS and accounting topics, demonstrating my expertise and thought leadership in the field. I enjoy working with clients who are passionate about transforming the financial industry with technology, and I am always eager to learn new skills and embrace new challenges.
